Top-up fresh tap water, place all the filter and fired up the water pump. Water look crystal clear the first day. Tomorrow the water turn a hint of pink. So far I have not seen this happening before. All my filter did not leach or have any red color. And I have not put any fish in it yet. (wanted to let the water stabilized for a week first.) Just crazy.... After a few day it still stay a hint of pink. So I decided to add 1 fish to the pink water. Until now for a few day the fish look good, swim well, eat well, no sign of stress. The store ask me to re-change all water, but it a hassle and alot of water to waste. sign.... :( Any Advice? James. Hi,
